sorting an array using 2 params

[scialom]

Hello,

I have this array:

$q["db_name"][0] = "test";
$q["db_type"][0]   = "my";

$q["db_name"][1] = "run";
$q["db_type"][1]   = "my";

$q["db_name"][2] = "all";
$q["db_type"][2]   = "get";

I would like to sort this array that first will sort it according db_name and then as a secondary parameter will sort it according to db_type

is it possible?

thanks!

Yes, take a look at [man]usort[/man] or [man]uasort[/man].

Although your array structure looks a bit backwards to me. Shouldn't you put your numeric index first and then the associative db_name and db_type keys second? I suggest calling print_r on your array and looking at what comes out.
